Apex Line — Bunka

Built for every kitchen. Monolith Apex Line is where consistency meets craft. Our custom knives will always be the heart of Monolith — singular pieces where we experiment, refine, and push our craft forward — and the Apex Line exists because of that work. It takes the design principles, materials, and details we’ve developed in our customs and brings them into a consistent, reliable knife you can depend on every day. The Bunka is a versatile all-purpose knife with a shorter blade and a sharp, angular tip. It excels at precise cuts, slicing, and detailed prep, making it nimble and easy to handle in any kitchen. Each blade is made from Takefu Aogami Super steel, clad in stainless steel for protection, with a forged distal taper.

It will naturally develop a patina with use. As with all our knives, hand-wash and dry
